Description
ESSAY: JEF7REY HILDNER (aka Madison Gray) probes the difference between what he calls LITERAL COLLAGE and PHENOMENAL COLLAGE in a critique of architect Bernard Tschumi's Lerner Hall at Columbia University.
"Rook's Move" defines two basic types of collage that I call "literal collage" and "phenomenal collage."
Literal Collage involves a subjective goal: a creative assemblage of materials or forms.
Phenomenal collage involves an objective goal: a creative assemblage of materials or forms that also expresses visual and conceptual ambiguity of Figure and Field.
In a high-profile project that tries to "blend" new work with existing buildings, which type of collage do the architects of Lerrner Hall use?
